Artist Statement

My abstract works are my love letters to Gaia.  I have always deeply observed my natural surroundings and been moved to express my feelings and connection to nature. From the sky above and everything in between down to the ground. The constantly changing sky, the beautiful gnarled trees, blooming flowers in gorgeous colours, the waters, sand and grass give me an abundance of inspiration and calm.

I keep a rainbow layout of acrylic paint, inks and pastels ready to go in my studio. I use my intuition to choose the first colour to cover my canvas and then the magic starts to happen. More colours  chosen, layers upon layers applied with quick, bold marks. I always take a step away and decide to let the layer dry or keep working and so it goes until completion like a puzzle. This process is my way of showing gratitude to the wonders of the natural world.
